Rostourism recommended not to travel to countries that have imposed sanctions

Rostourism advises Russians to refrain from traveling to those countries that have imposed sanctions on Russia, according to a report received by RBC.

“In connection with the current situation, Rostourism strongly recommends that all Russian citizens who go abroad on tourist and business trips, if possible, refuse to visit countries that have imposed sanctions and restrictions on Russia, since staying in these countries may carry the risks of a timely and safe return to Russia,” said Zarina Doguzova, head of the agency.

Russians are advised to visit countries open for travel that have not imposed restrictions against Russia. These are Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, UAE, China, India, Vietnam and some others, as well as travel around Russia. The agency advises to follow up-to-date information on tourist destinations provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Rostourism and Rosaviatsiya.

If tourists have already booked tours to countries inaccessible to travel, then they should contact the tour operator to select an alternative destination.
